Itinerary:

Let's make the best of April's the warming weather and go for a bike ride!

We will meet in the little park outside Riverdale Farm in Cabbagetown (very near the corner of Sumach and Winchester Streets, which is in turn north-east of Carlton and Parliament Streets) at 11:00am.

We will be riding on paved surfaces, mostly on bike paths, but on some roadways as well.

We will get on the Don Valley Bike Trail and head north and east. We will then ride along the Tailor Creek Park Path. Next we will head back on to city streets and ride south to the Beach, using for the most part City designated Shared Roadway bike routes. We will then find a restaurant on Queen St for a lunch probably between 1 and 2 pm.

After lunch, we will continue westbound on the waterfront trail. If we want to extend the ride, we can include the Leslie St Spit. We will end up heading north on the Don Valley as far as Cabbagetown and the start of the ride. If some of us would like we can spend a bit of time visiting Riverdale Farm
